Patience is a virtue I have to live by…
Anak,
I’m sorry if I run out of patience today. I have been doing my best to “discipline without spanking or shouting” (that’s the book title I got from the book sale at MOA), yet, today, I run out of it. I slept late last night thinking on our finances. Not that we are on crisis but I just want to be financially free soon so that I don’t have to work at home instead just play and do homeschool with you. But as long as we are still building our investments, I have to work from time to time and therefore stop from our bonding and learning sessions.
Last night, you were crying for an hour or so because you want me to feed you for the nth time already. I usually feed you from time to time if you are sick but since you are already fine yesterday, I opted to go back to schedule and so, stopped feeding you late at night. But you were persistent as ever. And I was firm on my words too. So, there we go. You went to bed without getting what you want and I was left thinking how I can help daddy increase our financial status.
When you woke up this morning, you asked me to wake up with you. I said (in my irritated voice) I can’t because I was still groggy after sleeping late last night. You were persistent (as always) and I was forced to get up since Mamu and Ate L are leaving for the market and I remembered I have to book someone. Oh well. You won this time. But more “struggles” happened. You interrupted my work and I was pissed off. So, I decided we go to the bank and the market to buy buko juice and puto (your favorites). When we were back home, its as if nothing happened. IN fact, we played a lot after our afternoon nap. We had “tuya baki” and “hulog sa motor” games where you want me to ride on the pillow with you and when you said “hulog ang motor”, I have to fall with you hahahaha. We were playing on the bed.
I suddenly realized that if I would be given the chance to just play and tell stories and teach you numbers and colors, I would still chose to do it endlessly. But see? For now, I have to work in between our playtimes and learning time.
THat’s why I want to be financially free so that the next time we both play and learn, the sky is the limit!
I love you my dear. I really do. Mwah!
Mommy
P.S OUr lesson for today was about colors. We used the Water Color Pencil of Tita Pat. WE draw airplanes and made paper airplane too. Your love for it never fades. Although your golf things is still there. When can we play at a golf club dad? heheheh
